You need to move a total of 80 tons of soil with a rolling resistance of 45 kg per ton and a sink of 4 centimeters. What is the total tractive effort required?
💡 Hint: Calculate each part step by step.
In an excavation project, the haul distance for bulldozers is 100 meters, and for scrapers, it’s 1000 meters. If a project requires 500 tons of material to be moved with bulldozers, how many runs will be required assuming each can move 5 tons at a time?
💡 Hint: Break down the total weight based on equipment capacity.
